Long before it was one of the biggest per capita consumers in Europe, Portugal was the invisible engine that drew the world coffee map.

In this open panel discussion, we analyse the country's strategic role as a global diffuser of the grain, exploring how logistical routes and the implementation of crops in geographies such as Brazil, Angola and East Timor have shaped the market we know today.

A conversation that crosses history, economics and the legacy of production, focussing on Portugal's real impact on the construction of the global coffee identity and the challenges of maintaining this prominence in the future.
